Active Learning Spaces

Beginning in the Fall of 2016, Rutgers-New Brunswick has four general-purpose, active learning spaces. These exciting rooms are designed for student engagement and collaboration and are based on the feedback of Rutgers faculty. Click on the rooms below for more information. Check back soon. We are continuing to explore ways to bring active learning spaces to all of the New Brunswick campuses with different designs that match the various teaching approaches used by our faculty. To request the use of one of these spaces for your class, fill out a Course Information Form.

Rutgers Academic Building (AB) Room 4225

This room is our first Interactive Lecture Hall, a space designed to accommodate large lectures while also enabling group discussion. Tiered seating provides the traditional sightlines that are conducive to presenting for a large audience. However, each tier's (or plateau's) front row of seats is capable of swiveling 360 degrees, enabling students to form pairs or groups. In addition to the standard instructor technology included in the Digital Classroom Podium, this room also has Solstice wireless display sharing. With Solstice, the instructor and students can project images from their laptop, phone, or tablet - facilitating the sharing of content from anywhere in the room, without the need to stand at the podium and connect the device with wires.

This room is one of two large Active Learning Classrooms in the brand new Academic Building designed for collaborative, group-based learning. Students sit at large tables of nine which have power outlets and wired connection points that can be used to send laptop, phone, or tablet images to a group monitor. Students can also work on wall-to-wall whiteboards or at their tables using hand-held whiteboard tablets. Rolling seats with bag and water bottle storage enables students to easily partner up and form different groups to engage in collaborative tasks.

Meanwhile, a height-adjustable central instructor station allows faculty to easily flow from table to table, lecture, or meet individually with students. The instructor hub includes the same sources available in our Digital Classroom Podium and is connected to each group monitor as well as four "jumbotron" monitors facing each side of the room from above the instructor station. As a result, the instructor can send their presentation material to any one of the room's 14 displays. Faculty can also preview or share student images from group monitors to any combination of the room's monitors.

This room utilizes a design similar to the AB Active Learning Classrooms, customized for smaller classes. Like AB 4400 and 4450, Tillett 204 has tables of nine along the perimeter of the room, giving students access to whiteboard, outlets, and monitors. This room includes moveable whiteboard walls that slide over the rooms atrium windows to reveal more writing space or can be moved off of the windows to let in light. At their central station, instructor can send their own and student images to the group monitors and two wall-mounted screens. The tables that make up the instructor station can be raised or lowered so that the instructor can sit, stand, or even have students pull up stools to meet separate from the class.
